Fishman earns federal payroll amid Democratic criticism
In Democratic circles the current deal shows too many good federal jobs going to Republicans. Senator Fishman’s appointment to the federal payroll drew protests from Democratic congressmen in Washington. Envious Democrats expect a governor's post to explain his value at 350 dollars a month to the administration. A correspondent notes Dewey Short’s replacement by Harold McGugin has eased Democratic tensions. McGugin’s arrival is not laughed at by the Democrats. Ottawa University marks its seventieth anniversary as the Ottawa Herald notes. Heavy rain totals near Wakeeney to Ellis threaten local duck-hatchers.
